Heath Zenith 7001 Manual

Solar Powered
Motion Sensor Light
Model 7001
FeatureS
• Turns on light when motion is detected.
• Automatically turns light off.
• Photocell keeps the light off during daylight hours.
• Battery Protection Circuitry. Unit will shut down when
battery is low. Unit will automatically resume operation
when battery is recharged to a safe level.
InItIaL Battery Charge
• PrIOr tO uSe, the battery will require 3 to 7 days
of full sun to completely charge with the On-tIMe
switch in the OFF position. Plug the solar panel cable
into the bottom of the battery case. If possible, aim the
solar panel toward the south and tilt it approximately
50° from horizontal (see illustration on next page). If
the solar panel cannot be aimed toward the south, then
tilt the panel approximately 30° if possible.
• To verify battery is charged, slide the ON-TIME switch
to TEsT. If light comes on, battery is charged and ready
for use. If light does not come on, slide the ON-TIME
to OFF. Recheck the light the next day.
• Actual operating time will vary depending upon how
frequently the light is turned on by the motion sensor
and amount of sunlight collected.
• solar lighting is not designed to equal standard 120V
lighting. The amount of light output is reduced to allow
the sun time to fully recharge the battery between
lighting cycles.

For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 feet (2.4
m) above the ground. For best solar collection, mount the
solar panel on a southern facing surface. Note: If fixture is
mounted higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down
will reduce coverage distance.
1. Mount Solar Panel. Allow for enough wire to reach the
battery case. Attach triangular base to a solid surface
using three tapered screws. Ball joint must be on the
bottom to keep water out of solar panel. IMPORTANT:
Caulk around the base and on top of the tapered
screw heads after installation.
Note: see Initial Battery Charge and illustration on
next page for solar panel setup information.
